Yep, as a dork I test drove a 2012 Shelby GT500 September 2013. Ever since I’ve been wondering / thinking how to get me one.

This 2012 Shelby GT500 has

Leather Recaro seats

SVT Performance Package.

Grabber Blue

A bit over priced (in my opinion) and is still available, so I am on the fence on making a reasonable offer (market value) for it.

Was searching the web for other 2012 Shelby GT500s and found the following

This 2012 Shelby has

SVT Performance Package

Navigation

Performance White

Unfortunately no Recaro seats but is more reasonably priced. This one is about a 3 hour drive away, so if I go for it will be a long drive to do the paperwork.

Tough choice I like them both. The SVT Performance Package, leather Recaro seats & Navigation package are the desirable options for me on a Shelby GT500. Am a fan of the Grabber Blue but the Performance White is nice on the Shelby GT500.

Who knows what I’ll get, if either… 😉

update; May 18, 2014; (on my bday – Jan 25, 2014) pulled the trigger and did the paperwork on the white Shelby GT500.

I am pleased with the transaction and I have driven this car for a few times. WHOA is all I have to say about this monster. Still a little tentative to ‘get on it’ but ya, one heck of a great ride. Awesome stuff & feel very fortunate to be able to have it in my garage.

The car was delivered in February; sales man from the dealership was kind enough to send me some pictures of it being loaded on to the trailer for delivery. Here is one of pics he sent.

Me and Sue (my wife) went for a cruise last weekend and we ended up in our old neighbourhood (Guild Inn – in Scarborough) and here is a picture of the GT500 in front of what is left of the Guildwood Inn.

Plan to have many smiles per mile with this one. Life sure has it’s awesome moments, here is another in my life!

The new toy parked beside my 2003 Mach1 in the garage. I bought the Mach 1 brand new, and it is my 1st ever new car. The second picture is them under their respective ‘blankie’.

Yep, as a ‘car-nerd’, specifically a Ford Mustang Fan (FMF), am eagerly waiting April 2014 for the trek to North Carolina in my Mach1 to participate in the Mustang 50th celebration being put on by the Mustang Club of America (MCA) & of course Ford Motor Co.

I’ll be heading to a friend’s place in PA, spending the night then next morning we’ll head out in our Mustangs to North Carolina.

Drove my Mach1 to the Mustang 40th in Nashville and Mustang 45th in Birmingham and enjoyed each event.

IF you are planning on attending either location of the Mustang 50th, yes there are 2, one in North Carolina and the other in Las Vegas, let me know where you’re headed and what Mustang you’re driving down? Or is it on a trailer??
